Table 2.

Characterization of cardiac function in the groups that were used in the study. Ejection fraction, fractional shortening, anterior wall mass, anterior wall thickness, and posterior wall thickness were measured by echocardiography. Heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output were determined by invasive hemodynamics. *p < .05, ***p < .001 Sham vs TAC; ††p < .01,†††p < .001 TAC vs TAC ABX or TAC REC, ANOVA test; §p < .05 TAC ABX vs TAC REC, Student t-test. Values are means ± SEM
